Today...

JT

Today was a sad day for Danny's Cowboys and my Broncos- at least I got some cute pictures out of it :)

Wedding Shoe Blues

I really want tiffany blue/aqua shoes to go with my dress... but I can't find any anywhere!! I, along with Emily and Grace, have put in some long hours searching on the internet. But everytime I find a pair, they are discontinued or not in my size. These are the three I love, but can't find. Sigh.

A Petting Zoo???

Nope, thats my new backyard :)

Isaiah's 3rd Birthday Party at Chuck's

Its been a great Thanksgiving break, although I am really really not ready to go back to work tommorrow! Just 3 more weeks until Christmas break :)

More Engagement Pics

The wonderful and talented Brandi Thompson sent us some more of our engagement pics today! Those are some of my favorites!

Found One!

Well, I found a dress- and there were no tears! Well, I didn't have tears but my mom and my sister and my 2 best friends did... thats a good sign I think :) Its not the one I thought I would get, but as soon as I put in on I knew it was the one. I really wanted to post a picture of it- but my mom says I can't! Oh, well- just a few more months.

I am off of work all week and I am so happy! I love my job, but I think Kindergartners can sense a vacation coming and it makes the week before a break really really LONG! I started packing today- and tomorrow we will start cleaning and painting the new house. One of these days I will remember to take my camera along so I can post some pictures of it. Because I really must show everyone the lovely wallpaper before I rip it off :)

Danny and I had our second premarital counseling session today- its been really good for us and I am so thankful that we have such wondeful people working with us. We are so grateful for Providence Church.

Ok, I am going to pack more boxes now. Or maybe go to bed :)

Wedding Dress Shopping

This is the one I have been hoping is "The One"

I'm supposed to be excited right?? I am kind of dreading it. Not because I don't want to get married.... I am very excited about that! I am just a horrible horrible shopper. And 9 times out of 10, I end up in the dressing room crying. Anyway, I am taking some good people with me on Saturday- hopefully there will be no tears and I will be one of those "Oh, it was the first dress I tried on..." type of people. Wish me luck!

House

Danny and I signed a lease tonight for a home in Aubrey! We are very excited! I will live there until we get married in March, but it is just a few streets down from where Danny is living right now. It is an older home (with really ugly wallpaper!) but it is perfect for us right now. I will post some pictures soon!

Trick or Treat

Princess Iris

Me and Mickey :)

Grace and her kids

I got to go visit my best friend and her family this weekend in Wichita Falls. Grace and I took Isaiah trick or treating while Delawrence stayed home with Iris on candy duty. While Grace and I were walking Isaiah around I was remembering all the times we went trick or treating together growing up- I can't believe we are now old enough to have our own kids to take!!

Halloween Candy

My favorite Halloween candy of all time are these super hero candy sticks. Yep, I am aware that most people find them disgusting. But its ok, I admit it- I LOVE them. Unfortunately, the wedding diet doesn't allow me to have them this year- sigh. What's your favorite Halloween candy??

Joe T's

I just have to say I LOVE Joe T's with my whole heart. Especially their pina coladas and nachos! YUM.

Engagement Pics

The wonderful Brandi Thompson has posted a few pics on her blog and myspace page from our engagement session with her yesterday.We had so much fun with her- she is great! Go check out all her work! The link to her blog is on the left of my page. Thanks Brandi!

Pumpkin Fun

We had a fun night of carving pumpkins. Danny made a Yoda- the only way I can get him to get into fun holiday traditions is to bribe him with Star Wars :) At Easter he made Star Wars eggs! I think mine turned out pretty good too!

Shoes!

I love these shoes! I really would like something like them to wear with my wedding dress- I just don't know where to find them!

Pumpkin Spice Time!

This has nothing to do with the wedding- I just really love this time of year. The time of year when Starbucks brings back good ol pumpkin spice :)

Cupcakes!

This is the cupcake that I think we are going to get for my wedding cake. Its from "The Cupcakery" in Frisco. It is raspberry cake with champagne icing. It is SO yummy!!

Some of my Bridal Party

Here are some of the wonderful people who will be in our wedding. I am also having honorary bridesmaids... I just don't have pictures of all of them all yet! I will post them soon!

Amber will be one of the bridesmaids. She is my roommate

and has helped more than she will ever know!

Stephanie will be a bridesmaid. She is not only one of my best friends, but she is also a good friend of Danny's. She has been there for every step of our LONG journey :)

Madison will be one of my flower girls. She is Stephanie's daughter and was also in my class a couple of years ago.

Kyrstin will be one of my flower girls. Her mom is Kari, one of my very best friends!

These two boys are going to be my ring bearers. Isaiah is Grace's son, and Jack belongs to Emily. I LOVE them both so much!

Megan will be my maid of honor. She is my wonderful sister and best friend!

Grace will be my Matron of Honor- we have been best friends for 25 years. I would be lost without her.

Emily will be one of my bridesmaids. We have been friends for about 6 years. She always makes me laugh- and I have never met anyone else who is so much like me or gets me the way she does!

Beth will be one of my bridesmaids. We met in college and became fast friends. She lives in Arkansas so we don't get to see each other very often, but we always pick up right where we left off!
